Cat owners often face the problem when their pets start sharpening their sharp claws on upholstered furniture, wallpaper and other equally dear interior items.
Of course, it is worth fighting this purring habit, otherwise the costs of keeping a cat will be supplemented by such an impressive item as repairs.
For this reason, we decided to share with you a simple and effective way to help wean your cat off this bad habit.
And for this you will need only two things: a scratching post, which will become an alternative to upholstered furniture, and catnip, with the help of which you can train your pet to use this very scratching post.
To achieve the desired effect, you need to rub the scratching post with the leaves of the above-mentioned plant.
The aroma of this herb has a strong effect on cats, who will immediately turn away from other interior items and turn their attention to a special “accessory” designed for sharpening claws.
But you shouldn't remove your cat's claws.
Firstly, the animals become defenseless after this, and secondly, the consequences of such an operation can be degenerative changes in the joints of the limbs and impaired coordination.
Earlier, BelNovosti reported on what a cat owner should do immediately after returning home.
